"I believe that this is
the first time we have
been able to treat these

Wisconsin Court Dismisses
DJ's Suit Against ADL

MADISON, Wis. (JTA)
— The State Supreme
Court has sustained the
dismissal by a lower court
of a damage suit by a
Milwaukee disc jockey
against the regional of-
fice of --the Anti-
Defamation League of
Bnai Brith which the
radio performer blamed
for loss of his job, accord-
ing to a report in the
latest issue of The Wis-
consin' Jewish Chronicle.
Allan E. Augustine was
fired by Ralph Barnes,
general manager of sta-
tion WOKY, in 1974 fol-
lowing a talk show which
featured members of the
National Socialist White
People's Party, a local
Nazi group. Augustine
sued the ADL • for
$150,000. Barnes also was
named in the lawsuit, the
Chronicle reported.
The court record indi-
cated that, during the
radio show, the Nazis
used "various epithets"
about Jews and Blacks

and that Augustine failed
to push the button which
would have deleted such
material.
Augstine also failed to
use,a standard disclaimer
tape to the effect that the
views expressed were
those of the guests and not
of the station.
In upholding the ruling
of the Milwaukee County
Circuit Court which re-
jected Augustine's" claims
of damage, the Supreme
Court held that "the right
of free speech as guaran-
teed by the Constitution
is a privilege which has
been asserted (as such)
and correctly so by the
ADL."
Saul Sorrin, Wisconsin
regional ADL director,
said the Supreme Court
decision had "affirmed
the right of organizations
and individuals to protest
material put on the air
which they believe, to be
contrary to the interests
of the community."
